Lessons Learned: Road to a Board Seat

WELD Pittsburgh is excited to announce its first executive women’s series for the chapter! The executive women’s series focuses on topics relevant to women at advanced levels in their careers or businesses and provides a great opportunity for women to connect with their peers across the community. WELD’s corporate members have a set number of free invitations to attend.* Our first event will highlight the importance of building diverse corporate boards and offer practical tips to help you identify key mileposts and actions along the road to board-readiness.

Study after study indicates that organizations whose boards are comprised of individuals with diverse backgrounds and perspectives are more successful. You have valuable experience to offer a board, but how do you get a seat at the table? Where do you start?

Please join us for an interactive and collaborative discussion with Christy Uffelman, President of Align Leadership, Pittsburgh Chair of the national nonprofit, 2020 Women on Boards, and member of the Board of Directors of the Eat’n Park Hospitality Group. Ms. Uffelman will share the lessons she learned on the road to securing her corporate and nonprofit board seats and facilitate a discussion with your peers that will help you map your own first steps on your journey to becoming board-ready.
